SCENES FROM ALLEN'S LAST 3 DAYS ON EARTH AS A SPIRIT
by Jonas Mekas Share + This screening is part of: JONAS MEKAS TURNS 90!
Film Notes SCENES FROM ALLEN'S LAST THREE DAYS ON EARTH AS A SPIRIT
1997, 67 min, video. "This is a video record of the Buddhist Wake
ceremony at Allen Ginsberg's apartment. You see Allen, now asleep
forever, in his bed; some of his close friends; and the wrapping up and
removal of Allen's body from the apartment. You hear Jonas's description
of his last conversation with Allen, three days earlier. You see the
final farewell at the Buddhist temple, 118 West 22nd Street, New York
City, and some of his close friends: Patti Smith, Gregory Corso, LeRoi
Jones-Baraka, Hiro Yamagata, Anne Waldman, and many others." J.M. & ON
MY WAY TO FUJIYAMA (1995, 25 min, 16mm) "A Bolex record of my journey
through Japan in 1995, from all the way South to all the way North, with
some of my good Japanese friends. After I finished it, I looked at it,
and I didn't like it and decided to keep it on the shelf. This is the
first screening of this film since its completion in 1995. I will have
another look at it myself." J.M.

NOTES ON AN AMERICAN FILM DIRECTOR AT WORK: MARTIN SCORSESE
by Jonas Mekas 2005, 80 minutes, video This screening is part of: JONAS
MEKAS TURNS 90! "I originally met Martin Scorsese when he was still a
film student at the New York University. He used to come to my film
screenings. But our real friendship began when he made his first feature
film, WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR. I was asked to make a film about
Marty to introduce a retrospective of his films. As it happened, Marty
was shooting THE DEPARTED at that time. I asked him if I could follow
him for a week or two, and he said yes. So that's how this film
happened. It's a chamber kind of movie, a personal tribute to a friend."

THE BRIG
by Jonas Mekas 1964, 68 minutes, 35mm Share + This screening is part of:
JONAS MEKAS TURNS 90! Film Notes "1963 saw the controversial
off-Broadway theater production THE BRIG by THE LIVING THEATRE. Filmed
on stage with the original cast, rarely has there been a more intense
cinematic adaptation of a play. Executed with brutish authenticity, THE
BRIG won the Venice Festival Grand Prize for best documentary. A polemic
drama with sonic shock waves, it is a nightmare that suggests 'Kafka
with a Kodak.' The audience is placed in a violently claustrophobic
environment, a Marine Corps stockade. Mekas puts aside his poetic
sensibilities and ties us to a chair in the blistering sun with no
water, no hope, and no mercy. This film is hard as nails." MELBOURNE
UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL Followed by: Storm De Hirsch NEWSREEL: JONAS
IN THE BRIG 1964, 5 min, 16mm. Preserved with support from The Andy
Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Poet/Filmmaker Storm De Hirsch
was on-hand to document Mekas as he threw himself into the filming of
THE BRIG. This gorgeous print was recently preserved by Anthology.

AS I WAS MOVING AHEAD OCCASIONALLY...
by Jonas Mekas 2000, 288 minutes, 16mm, color This screening is part of:
JONAS MEKAS TURNS 90! Piano: Auguste Varkalis. "My film diaries
1970-1999. It covers my marriage, children are born, you see them
growing up. Footage of daily life, fragments of happiness and beauty,
trips to France, Italy, Spain, Austria. Seasons of the year as they pass
through New York. Friends, home life, nature. Nothing extraordinary,
nothing special, things that we all experience as we go through our
lives. There are many inter-titles that reflect my thoughts of the
period.
The film is also my love poem to New York, its summers, its
winters, streets, parks. It's the ultimate Dogma '95 movie, before the
birth of Dogma." J.M.
